A neat idea, trading in transmission rate (1/20th of the average wifi) for extending the range by using the lower wavebands and makes sense for items not needing tons of bandwidth, aka no video streaming and other high demanding protocols.
Basically it's wireless dial-up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Should be interesting to see how it pans out. |

Oh great, another HiperLAN. And it wants to play scatternet, too, because whenever networking guys get bored they create another scatternet concept, and this time it will be totally feasible...
Yep, I'm slightly skeptical. |

I don't understand why he would develop his own wireless stack, there's plenty of decent open source standards for low power long range wireless such as DASH7. If the current stacks are too difficult to get started in then spend time making them easier, it's going to involve a lot less effort than starting from scratch again.

QUOTE (Freya @ Sep 3 2013, 06:20 AM)  wharrgarbl Wharrgarbl is right. I have never had a need to know exactly how many eggs I have in my fridge at any time from anywhere. Occasionally milk, just because my house drinks milk at an astonishing rate of about a gallon a day, and the fridge only holds 5. So Mom will frequently visit the store and want to know how many unopened ones there are so she can buy none, two, or four new ones (as the number may have changed--and likely has--since she last looked in the fridge).
